The Heartmade Threads website (our “Website”) is operated by BW Quilting, LLC, a Utah limited company (“Heartmade Threads" or “we” or “our”). Heartmade Threads wants to make your online experience pleasant, convenient and safe. Your privacy is very important to us. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the information we collect about you and how we use this information.
What Kind of Information Does Heartmade Threads Collect?
Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a positive experience while you use our Website, to hear your comments, to respond to your inquiries, and to provide you with access to our services. “Personal Information” is information about an identifiable individual as more particularly defined by privacy legislation. Heartmade Threads may collect both Personal Information and browsing information about your use of the Website (“Browsing Information”). Personal Information includes information such as your name, address, phone number and email address. Browsing Information includes information such as: 1) technical information, including the date and time you access the Website, your Internet protocol address, device type, internet browser name, and web browsing history; and 2) service usage information, such as records and history about transactions and preferences, and the demographic, geographic, apparel sizes and psychographic information, and other feedback you supply to us. Also, when you register or create an online account/profile with us, contact customer service, participate in our surveys, or send us testimonials, feedback or submissions, you are providing us with your personal information.
If you pay by credit card, debit card or check, Heartmade Threads does not maintain this account information, as it is provided to a third party vendor. Heartmade Threads utilizes Stripe, a third party company, to handle credit card and bank account transactions. Heartmade Threads is not responsible for such transactions. No sensitive payment information (e.g. credit card numbers, bank account numbers, etc.) is sent to or maintained on our servers. Therefore the burden of PCI Compliance rests solely on Stripe.

On rare occasions we may also be required to disclose your information as is required by law pursuant to lawful requests such as subpoenas, court or agency orders, or as we may reasonably determine to be necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others, to avert harm to persons or property, or to enforce this Privacy Policy.
Does Heartmade Threads Share My Information With Third Parties?
We will share certain Personal Information and Browsing Information we collect about you with third parties who perform services for us or with whom we contract for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example: we may use third parties to host our Website or data, operate certain features, send e-mails, print or mailings, and analyze data and our advertising effectiveness.
We may share Browsing Information, and non-personal information including demographic information with select third parties on an anonymous basis (that is, in a way that does not connect your non-personal Information to your Personal Information or disclose your Personal Information in any fashion).
If Heartmade Threads, or substantially all of our assets, are sold, or Heartmade Threads reorganizes or merges into another company, then customer information, including Personal Information, will likely be one of the transferred assets.
On rare occasions, we may be required to disclose your Personal Information as required by law and as necessary to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us. Or we may need to do so to protect our customer’s rights.
